Club Welfare Officer or Referee FA DBS Application

Created by Tom Measham, Modified on Fri, 26 Apr 2024 at 09:47 AM by Tom Measham

The process for club welfare and referees is slightly different to that of regular team and club officials. 


CWO are unable to verify their own DBS documents which requires you to be verified by a County FA staff member (unless your club has more than 1 verifier)


Referees as you are not attached to a County FA club you are required to do your FA DBS application via the CFA


Please find information attached about applying for your FA DBS.


To verify your DBS, you will need to make an appointment with a Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA staff member to visit our County FA Office. Please remember to bring your relevant documents


Alternatively, there are other verifiers in the County.  These options will have come up on your application.  If these are more convenient for you, please get in touch with that verifier directly to check their availability.
